The Short Messaging Service (SMS) from Google sends short,
quick, text answers in response to your queries from an SMS-enabled mobile
device, such as a cell phone. For example, you can look up phone numbers and
addresses of local restaurants, do local phone book searches, compare prices
from online merchants in Froogle to those you find in local stores, even look
up definitions of words from the dictionary.
SMS has long been a common means of mobile communication in
Europe. It has been available in the US for some time, but hasn't been widely
used. You don't need a phone with a web browser to use Google's SMS. Since the
information is transmitted as text only, without graphics, only the ability to
send and receive SMS messages is needed. At present, the service is only
available only in English, through major US wireless carriers like AT&T,
Nextel, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Your service plan must allow for SMS messaging
also. Use of SMS doesn't generally count against minutes under most plans, but
both your SMS to Google and the answer received from Google will typically
count towards messages allowed.
Use of the Google SMS service is free at present, though of
course users will need to pay any connection and messaging charges from their
wireless carriers. For getting more information about seo and

Google SMS can be handy for travel in particular. For
example, let's say you've arrived at your hotel, and really have a taste for
Chinese food. You may be able to use Google SMS to enter "Chinese food
delivery" followed by the zip code of your hotel. Google will return,
usually in less than a minute, a list of local Chinese restaurants that offer
delivery. This is a nice alternative to looking in a phone book, where you may
not know the city, and also is handy for situations where you may not be able
to connect to the Internet easily.
